[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
Right now there is no flashable image of the stock OS. Google pulled it from their site. But if you can't use USB, you can still use a computer to unzip the image into partitions, then use terminal and `flash_image` to flash each partition. (When I tried using flash_image, it didn't work, so be cautious. If you're rooted you can also use `dd` to flash images, but a typo could brick your phone so don't.)

I bet the easiest thing for you to do is to create individual flashable images for each partition, then boot into CWM and flash each (recovery last, obviously). But I don't know how. In any case, you'll need to wait until Google puts a new mako image on their site: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

---------- Post added at 07:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:56 AM ----------

Actually, depending on how desperate you are, I (or anybody else) could help you. I have a stock recovery installed right now (JOP40D) and I could pull the image with "dd". That won't be a flashable .zip, but you should be able to flash it from within the ROM. I could also get you a copy of my /system partition--there's nothing personal or private in there :P

If you have a .img, you could pack it into a flashable .zip and download it via dropbox.

Unless you have no access at all to a computer. In that case, you'll just need to wait for Google to release the next version of the image.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studjuice:
I would love some help on packing into a flashable .zip. I found the images here, http://www.randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/nexus-4/occam/ but I can't do anything with them without fastboot.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
I found one guide for creating the flashable zip here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1721680

And a better one here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1949367

In principle, I think you could use your phone to do these, but it would be hard. The hardest step would be extracting individual files from .img files, and I don't know whether you can do that with your phone--it depends on the kernel and the "mount" utility--you would need to mount the .img files as a filesystem and extract from them. Obviously you should avoid flashing /data to ensure that you can keep /sdcard and your CWM backup. And flashing stock recovery should be your last step. In fact, don't flash your stock recovery. Flash the Nexus image version C, then reboot and let the image automatically reflash the recovery. This is safest. But if this step messes up, you will absolutely need to use a computer to fix it.

Actually, there's a far easier way. Somebody could create a CWM backup for you--a backup of version JOP40C. You download it to /data/media/clockworkmod/backups, then use CWM to recover it (use advanced options to recovery ONLY the /system partition (maybe others?), then clear the cache and dalvik cache). Then you OTA upgrade to JOP40D. This will involve downloading a flashable .zip (here). The key is that this will remove root and CWM when you next reboot! If it doesn't remove root, I think you can probably do that yourself.

The thing you can't do without a computer: lock your bootloader. Is using somebody else's computer really out of the question? I think "adb" and "fastboot" work without the rest of the Android SDK, so you could just download them and get to a computer just for the very final step of re-locking the bootloader.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rman88:
Hi everyone, long time moder first time poster,

Today I received a Defy+ in the mail from Amazon, it was supposed to be a Defy but I figured I'd play around with it a bit, can always send it back since its the wrong thing.

I've managed to get the latest quarx build on it, and everything seems good, but unfortunately 3g isn't working. After several dozen attempts of rebooting and trying different APN settings I realize that I'm an idiot and the Defy+ is only 900/2100 for WCDMA since it was never sold in the US, where Tmobile US use 1700 if I recall correctly.

So my question, are the frequencies supported defined in software and is there any way to change this by using defy+ baseband to enable use of this, or is this going back and I'll do better to try to find a defy to buy locally (in US anyways) thats would enable use of the 1700mhz wcdma spectrum?

Thanks for any advice,

My friend that flashes phones on the side and I have been trying to get the OG to work on Verizon PrePay but its been a rough road. After a couple days of figuring out which flashing programs work with this phone and which ones don't we finally got it going. We can't use QPST to get into the EFS ( the standard process ) to input some files to get 3G working. We have talk and text and 1X. If any one knows how to get into the file system "for sure" please point me in the right direction. I will keep everyone interested on our progress. Feel free to PM me.

[HTC Sensation] ojp420:
I have been trying out a few ROMs and it seems the WiFi on the jelly bean ROMs are weak compared to ICS roms. Has anyone had this problem.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
I've used Bruce's CM10 builds and recently switching to the official Cyanogen CM10 builds. Last week I tried out Nikez's JB 4.2 AOSP build. I had great wifi on all of them. Like satndin gout in my front yard with the wifi router in the basement in the back of my house good. So it's not the ROM itself. (Though it could be a combination of the ROM and some app or mod you're running)

You might have a weak connection on the wifi anteneas inside the back case of the phone. Take the back cover off, look at the gold pins on the phone, and make sure they are all raised up. You can take a tiny screw driver and pry them up a little more to make sure they are getting good contact with the back cover (which is the antenea). Juts be VERY careful when doing it.

It might not help, but it's a cheap thing to try.
[HTC Sensation] ojp420:
I have tried that too but its strange I can switch to a ICS ROM and I will have full bars in my whole house but with the jelly bean ROMs its one or two bars unless I'm right next to it.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
I've got some WiFi tweaks in my kernel that might help. My kernel, Sultan, has the WiFi voltage increased to the max and it has some WiFi signal parameters altered at the kernel level so WiFi networks with weaker signal can be seen. If my kernel doesn't really help then I can build a kernel just for you that forces the system to use the BCM4329 WiFi driver instead of the BCMDHD WiFi driver; that may help. BTW, if you download my kernel then make sure you download the one for Jelly Bean and not the one for Sense.
[HTC Sensation] ojp420:
I tried your kernel and my WiFi is still weak compared to ICS but does seem a little stronger
[HTC Sensation] James1o1o:
This is a confirmed issue, its not kernel related, because even with the kernels with improved wifi voltage (which is more voltage than stock), its still a weaker signal than on an ICS based rom.
[HTC Sensation] niuxed:
Is it an issue with proprietary drivers/code or a issue with JB itself?
[HTC Sensation] ojp420:
I tried two different ones but both the same still weak WiFi ... I am new to HTC so I might not be wiping something right but anyways what kind of recovery should I use and what should be wiped every time I flash a new ROM
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
4ext recovery and before flashing any rom format all partitions except sdcard
[HTC Sensation] ojp420:
That is awesome and terrible news all at the same time thanks guys
[HTC Sensation] ojp420:
So is that the one that says touchcovery
[HTC Sensation] ojp420:
I am using twrp 2.2.0 now what's the difference
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
most users who are S-ON(like me) 4ext has a feature which calls smartflash

before flashing any rom you have to enable smartflash before flashing(if you are S-ON)

and then flash the rom

for S-ON devices it is one way to boot a rom after installation

if you are S-OFF you don't need that feature
[HTC Sensation] ojp420:
So if I'm s off then ext4 isn't really a must have for me
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
yes but it is more preferable for any kind of installations(roms,kernels)

if i am not wrong

personally i haven't used twrp but i think you are fine
[HTC Sensation] MS Gray Man:
In your case TWRP should work just fine
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
4ext was really buggy for me. 1 of the many bugs I experienced with 4ext was that sometimes after flashing a kernel the phone would get stuck at the HTC screen and I would have t use fastboot to flash a boot.img file in order to get my phone to boot; flashing another kernel in the recovery didn't work and it would still be stuck at the HTC screen -_- If you have S-OFF then use TWRP. Just my 2 cents.

How to change the navbar in default browser

pandacookie,

Actually this is possible. This requires extensive modifications to the base Framework, having said this we are not comfortable posting a how to change the home screen. As you already know, there are plenty of custom launchers that allow you to make these changes natively. Try Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher they are both fast on the Kindle. I prefer Apex Launcher since it is 100% bug free on the Kindle.

[Dell Streak 7] wonder_boy54:
I have a BIG PROBLEM!!!!!!!!

I rooted my Dell Streak 7 from T-Mobile it has the sim card slot so I guess it's not the wifi only one. i installed rom manager and flashed clockworkmod recovery 3.0.2.0 everything was working fine. Then I downloaded a rom an boot into recovery when i went to install zip from sd card i clicked on it and said no files found. Wherever I click says that. I dont know what t do anymore!!!!

Also, my friend sold it to me because it freezes a lot out of nowhere. I thought that maybe upgrading the firmware or installing a kernel could fix it but I cant even flash a rom. I have a optimus one and it never gives me any trouble.

I tried googling for answers and looked all over xda but couldn't find a solution.

Please help me!!!!! Thank you in advance!!! :D

LOL, you didn't need to flash CWR to upgrade to honeycomb. Just download the correct update.pkg and using the stock recovery, flash the package.

You may want to NVflash back to Froyo with this: http://d-h.st/iXc and then from that stock recovery install the HC Update.pkg. From there you can Fast boot CWM or TRWP.

kind of the same problem

I tried to go back to 2.2, but the orginal problem is still there (stuck in boot loop shows the dell logo and does nothing else) I know it isn't bricked can get into fastboot and nvflash.

Link your ringtone and notification volumes!

It was requested a little while ago (in the Q&A forum) for a way to link the ringtone and notification volumes, i.e. when you decrease the ring volume, the notification volume decreases as well. So, I made a simple app in tasker that maps the ringtone volume to the notification volume. When enabled, anytime you change the ring volume, the notification volume will change to match it.

Using is easy: just install, open, and click enable.

The settings may keep on boot, I'm not entirely sure.

Requirements

nothing special.

This should work on most ICS devices.

Notes

This is a one-way mapping. Changing the notification volume will not adjust the ringtone volume, and as soon as the ringer volume changes again, the notification volume will match the ringtone volume.

If you installed the app from the Q&A section, uninstall that one first, otherwise you will have a duplicate installation.

Let me know of any feature requests.

Changelog

:

v1 - v1.04

initial release in Q & A and minor fixes.

v1.1

now matches volumes when then enable button is clicked
